"Sold to the Gentleman over there!" Sinestra said with his same enthusiastic smile. The next item was bought by, surprisingly, the Dragons.
It was a powerful healing artifact, a wand called Vitalis Supremacy.
It was the first item the Dragons had bought since the Auction began and made many believe there was a special reason they had chosen that one item out of all of the ones that had been presented.
Still, the more things that were sold, the more anxious the various forces became. This was the first time that the number of peak items had reached such a high volume, meaning the number of things that could be obtained increased.
However, this also made more people anxious. After all, who knew when items like these would appear again? As such, each person wanted a piece.
However, the number of people who wanted something and the number of people who could actually buy something were totally different.
Still, many people were willing to dig deep into their cash reserves just to afford one or two things.
Thus, the number of people bidding for these items still far outweighed the number that would usually bid for the very expensive items.
It was truly a bidding war.
And the culprit just sitting with his arms folded, deep in thought.
After a while, Christopher nodded to himself.
'Yup, I'll do that.' He thought and settled back in his seat. He wasn't exactly relaxed,but he had formulated a plan. And if it didn't work, he could just leave and wait in his dimension until everything settled.
Up until now, everyone simply thought that he was teleporting away without leaving a trace when he was in fact, hiding in his dimension which seemed to leave no traces behind, and so far, no one had been able to sense it on him either.
He wouldn't just enter it in front of someone way stronger than him. But for now, it was a good backup plan. Moreover, even if someone sensed it and tried to enter, he was far stronger within his dimension than anywhere else. And as such, he was confident that he could defend himself if there were any unwanted visitors. Not that he would want to have said unwanted visitors in the first place.
Still, it was better to be prepared.

Sylvaris had been the Elven Queen for quite a long time.
But in the end, the thing that interested her the most was his confidence. Frankly speaking, while he wasn't the weakest person in this room by a long shot, he definitely wasn't the strongest. Or rather, he didn't radiate the strongest Aura.
When he was faced by the Dragons and Vampires, he showed no signs of panic and his body language was completely relaxed with no sign of tension or panic.
He was definitely sharp enough to see that any wrong words or moves would antagonise the two groups, but he showed no signs of distress.
One can argue that he knew Sinestra would step in the moment any side showed signs of violence, but due to her keen intuition, she was able to sense the faintest wisps of Mana circulating around his body, which meant that despite being relaxed, he was ready to fight at any point in time.
It was mind boggling really. Fighting off the Vampires already sounded like a bit of a stretch, after all, they were in a similar position to herself and the Dragons, but not only was he unafraid, he even had the gall to threaten them.
Then there were the dragons themselves. Sylvaris was wary of the beings whether she wanted to admit it or not. So was everyone else in the room. Sure they wouldn't back down if provoked, but respect was almost a must when dealing with them.
Yet Christopher did not cower in front of their heavy gazes and calmly explained his situation to them, and once more, she sensed that he was ready to fight with all of them if they tried it. Which was baffling to her.
It prompted one to ask if he was either brave or dumb.
However, Sylvaris knew that he had a reason to believe in his strength. In the first place, his entourage was very strange. Two dragons, children or not, was already quite astounding, and it wasn't odd that the Dragons questioned whether or not they were following him of their own free will.
Then there was the Vampire which was almost as, if not even stranger. After all, it was common knowledge that Vampires and humans were not to interact with each other since Vampires saw the latter as nothing but food. As such, they saw siding with them as belittling. After all, it would be the same as siding with an animal, in their eyes.
And yet he managed to make a Vampire his subordinate, willing to fight her own kind for him.
Then there were the two demi-humans. She was quite surprised since demi-humans hardly got very strong and those that did were the cream of the crop among their species. So seeing two, especially two that were so young but so strong with him was also very impressive.
And lastly, there was the person who wore the dark hood that followed him silently. Sylvaris didn't like him. Due to growing up near the world tree, she was exposed to powerful life force for a large portion of her life and could somewhat tell the difference between weaker and stronger life force.
This man reeked of death.
Still, it wasn't her place to judge, so she left it. Though she kept him under her radar, just in case he decided to try something. Though she doubted it.
All in all, everything Christopher had shown them was very shocking and made one very curious about his personality. She knew that was more to him than what he showed. She just didn't know how much more that was.
She was fairly sure he was the one who was selling these incredible items and it made her wonder just how he could procure things like this.
'The more I learn about him, the more unsurprised I am when I think about how whatever big thing that's about to happen revolves around him.'
